Concluding, he asked, "Does connivance at anarch exhibit more allegiance to the spirit of the law than an attempt to in- troduce law and order upon a basis of consent?" were in the hospital painfully burt, The dynamite was planted in the school house stove, Only the fact that the children were at recess pre- vented a heavy casualty list.
